Back to business - Ephrem's comeback in Adama
A bicycle repair shop in Adama needs help replacing a full set of tools after floodwater.
🇪🇹 Oromia, Ethiopia783 views
For twelve years I have run a bicycle repair shop in Adama. In May, floodwater took a full set of tools. I have no insurance, and the bank won't lend to me.
Before that, my customers came every Saturday, and I employed 2 people from the neighborhood. I have been out of business for 7 weeks.
This business pays my children's school fees and rent. I have already started working from home in small ways, but I can't meet orders without proper equipment.
Every contribution brings me closer to reopening, and I promise to post photos as I buy each item.
I'll buy equipment from local suppliers and post photos and receipts as I go.
Where the $250 goes:
• Working capital for the first month: $60
• Shop repairs and licensing: $55
• Replacing a full set of tools: $135
If you're reading this, thank you.
